Summary - Flat, 17, High Street TN17 3EE
5 bed 1 bath Office
Period shop with five-bedroom maisonette and cellar — flexible town-centre income potential.
Double-fronted Georgian shop with full-width display windows
A rare town-centre investment: a double-fronted Georgian commercial property with a two-storey five-bedroom maisonette above, offering just over 1,900 sq ft of flexible retail and residential space. The ground floor is predominantly open-plan with large display windows, exposed timber flooring and direct pavement access, while the maisonette provides light-filled rooms, a fitted kitchen and generous cellarage. Location is a strong driver — Cranbrook is an attractive historic Wealden town with good local amenities, schools and transport links to Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells and London.
The building combines period character (16th-century fabric with an 18th-century frontage) and modern interventions, but it is not without practical issues. The property is timber-framed with assumed no insulation in the walls, and the maisonette has a single family bathroom serving five bedrooms. The high ceiling rooms and rooflights are attractive, yet the historic construction means retrofit and energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed to meet modern standards.
For buyers seeking rental income or a live-and-work set-up, the layout and cellar/storage space give flexibility — retail on the ground floor with long-term residential income above, or conversion opportunities subject to planning. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern occupiers. Note: the immediate area records higher crime levels, and the plot is compact, so external expansion is limited. The property is offered freehold, priced for an investor prepared to manage conservation-era maintenance and targeted refurbishment.
